Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of when Ofsted’s most recent assessment of Tameside Children’s Services will be published.
A full inspection of Tameside’s local authority children’s services was last completed in May 2019. The report was published on 1 July 2019 with a rating ‘requires improvement to be good’.
For local authorities judged ‘requires improvement’, like Tameside, up to two focused visits will be completed in between full inspections. Tameside has recently had a focused visit and the report is expected to be published on 6 June 2022.
